You can use the Replace command. Select the cells to edit, press CTRL+H, enter " USD" in the Find field and leave the replace field empty. Replace all.

You can also use this formula to add the values WITHOUT first removing the USD and $:

   =SUM(VALUE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1:A2," USD",""),"$","")))

Enter the formula by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.
